I like that set up too Total. I hope Willock proves to be an upgrade on Chair in the 10 role. Think Masterson would be on Cameron as a CB.
Wouldn't think Warbs would go two up top away to Bournemouth - I'd like to see something different- 4-2-3-1 Dieng Kakay Dickie Barbet Wallace (unless Manning becomes available) Ball Carroll BOS Chair Willock Dykes (if benched, then Bonne)
I havem't heard that one. Surely not if we have agreed a deal with Swansea for Manning, though this doesnt seem to be confirmed done yet.
In that case I'm amazed that no one is putting him in their team. I've hardly seen him play, but after watching Wallace impersonating playing walking football he can't be any worse surely? Dieng Kakay Dickie Barbet Himalayan Ball Carroll BOS Willock Adomah Dykes
Do you think Uncle Albert has 90 minutes in him, to play from the start? Apart from that, like the formation!
Something like Dieng Kakay Barbet Dickie Wallace Ball Amos BOS Chair Albert Bonne Take a point if offered right now... Up the R's
Looking at all the teams/formations on this thread, no one can deny that Warburton has been given an awful lot of rope in getting new players in. He needs some of these to start delivering for him. I haven’t looked too closely but does he have a preferred formation? The only reason I wouldn’t always play 4-3-3, against any opposition, is if our players aren’t good enough, especially in midfield. All the teams I most enjoyed watching play 4-3-3. We have the upfront 3 - BOS/Albert, Bonne, Dykes. We can find two full backs and two CBs in the squad. Do we have a midfield destroyer with a bit of bite and consistent simple distribution, a box to box midfielder and a playmaker?
I am in-line with your thinking and I like your team. But I cannot see MW dropping Cameron; so this might be his prefered starting eleven: --------------------Dieng------------------- -Kakay--- Dickie---Barbet-- Wallace-- -------- Cameron ----Carroll----------- -----BOS------- Chair------ Albert------ -------------------Bonne ---------------- MW might also prefer Amos over Carroll, or even Chair! I would take a point if offered right now...
433 would be great, certainly entertaining in a keeganesq way.....just can't see Warbles going down that route.... RB - Kakay and Kane CB - Barbet, Dickey & Masterson LB - Wallace & Hamalanien Options would be for Ball to also play CB but would prefer him as the midfield destroyer breaking up play and giving passes to Carroll or chair as the playmaker....still believe Amos will be the box to box player... Also hopes that Thomas and willock will fit into some of these areas....
4 2 3 1 or a variation of this seems to be MW usual formation, but he has played 3 5 2 / 5 3 2 for periods too, and talks about how he wants to play 2 strikers. With the players we have I think we could do well playing 3 5 2 with something like this: Dieng Kakay Dickie Barbet Adomah BOS (wide) Ball Carroll Willock Bonne Dykes Go for it...
Look I do not really want Cameron anywhere my team (except for this one and Millwall) ...........Dieng Kakay Barbet Dickie Wallace ........Cameron....... BOS Ball Willock Carroll Dykes (to be replaced by Bonne at 60 minutes) Yes I know that is defensive. But I think we have to hang on to their coat tales for a bit and hope
4-3-3 doesn't have to be ultra attacking. You can have two holding midfield players if you want and the two wide forwards make a five across midfield without the ball.
